ABSTRACT: Two court and notary books of the 14th century offer an abundance of data about various legal matters of Venetians in Kotor. Numerous Venetian merchants supplied Kotor with different consumer goods. They also bought different goods in Kotor such as metal from well-known mining areas in Serbia and later traded them. Some Venetian merchants decided to stay and live in Kotor, continuing to deal with crafts and trade, which brought benefits to both them and the city. Well-known Kotor goldsmiths, filigree craftsmen, manufacturers of silk, fur and leather were from Venice. Local merchants had a great share in supporting craft and trade of Venetians in Kotor by investing considerable amount of money in their business, thus gaining very high profits.

Venetian doctors and notaries had an important role in Kotor in the 14th century. In addition to their professional engagement for which they received regular commune salaries, they also took significant part in the economic life of the commune since they had a great influence on money flows in the town owing to their authority and wealth. In most cases they gave loans to Kotor merchants or represented Venetian merchants in collecting debts from people from Kotor.

The largest number of documents from the first half of14th century referring to the Venetians in Kotor and Venetian merchants in concerned with stipulating sale contracts and abstract promissory notes and their completion by either individuals of Kotor community. Generally looking collection of debts of Venetian merchants in Kotor was in arrears and incomplete. In most cases, stipulated contracts were fulfilled by means of court enforcement of mortgages, guarantees or contractual penalty as mechanism that were most often employed for provision of realizations of obligations. A lot of preserved documents support the fact that the Venetians acquired considerable movables and immovables in Kotor and the Kotor District.

Huge difficulties that the inhabitants of Kotor as regards settling their dues to the Venetians on one side and the importance that Kotor as a transit port had for the Venetians on other side, influenced Kotor and Venice authorities, several times during the first half of the 14th century, to seek and stipulate contracts on settlements of dues payable by the municipality of Kotor and by individuals. The position of Kotor in these negotiations was clearly illustrated by the contract from 1335. Which prescribed very rigid measures to be applied against the citizens of Kotor in caste they did not settle their dues. Being as strict as that, as can be observed from the documents, they made Kotor merchants fulfill in practice stipulated obligations that they had towards the Venetians. Regarding the collection of debts from the municipality of Kotor, this contract was fully observed except for a few sporadic exceptions which were eventually fulfilled by the Kotor municipality after the litigation.

In the second half of the 14th century Venetians continued coming to Kotor. Practically nothing changed in the attitude of Kotor towards the Venetians regarding the creation of equal conditions for business in relation to the previous time. Despite it extreme significance and economic power, the Municipality still had a subordinate role as compared to the more powerful Venetian Republic.

ABSTRACT: For development of constitutional life in Montenegro, two events had essential importance:

1. creation of the first political parties
2. creation of the youth political movement

The Constitution evoked people’s political awareness. Very soon af-ter its adoption at the Assembly, a group of people’s representatives with same ideas have formed a Club of people’s representatives that publicly declared its opposition to the system established by the Constitution. After some time, this Club grew into the first political party. That was one of the most important moments in the work of people’s Assembly, because that enabled oppositional politicians to fight for their ideas in an organized manner.

The beginnings of constitutional life in Montenegro were followed with great interest by Montenegrin youth who were studying in Belgrade. They formed a movement that fought against the regime. The reaction of the youth was exaggerated, since they didn’t have serious arguments for such fight against regime. In other words, they misjudged on of the biggest crossroads of Montenegrin state and society.

ABSTRACT: Election of the Montenegrin-Coastal Bishop in 1961 had its own complicated prehistory. In 1954, the Montenegrin-Coastal Bishop at the time, Arsenije Bradvarević, was sentenced to prison for several years. However, this sentence didn’t implicate his definitive resign from the post in question. This happened due to the article in Constitution of Serbian orthodox church, according to which such sentence of citizens’ authorities only “removes and prevents” bishop from performing his duties. After this event, authorities of Serbian Orthodox Church changed their attitude to-ward state authorities. They became more flexible and cooperative.
